YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK AND THE GRAND TETONS

We arrived in the Park on Sunday and checked in at the Fishing Bridge RV Park. Given that the sites here were built decades ago we were very lucky to squeeze into our reserved site. We met a Bison on the way in strolling up the middle of the highway.
The following morning another (or maybe the same) bison trotted through the woods in front of our MoHo, ostensibly headed for the men’s room!

This was our first lesson  in fire management. This is a wild fire under observation by the park service. Current policy is that they only intervene where the fire is arson (human started) or where structures or people are at risk. This one was neither.






The geysers of Yellowstone simply defy description. Suffice it to say that living on an active volcano for 10 days is a life altering experience. The geysers are magnificent and mystical, no two alike, some predictable, many not so much.

The Riverside Geyser was kind enough to give us a show on cue although the picture doesn't really do it justice.  I made several attempts to video Old Faithful, with limited success, so you'll just have to go see it yourself! 


After a 5 day stint with full hookups in the RV Park at Fishing Bridge we moved down to Grant Village Campground where we boon-docked for the next few days with no hookups. It was much more spacious and we thoroughly enjoyed our tours on the Scooter to Biscuit Basin and surrounding areas.  From there we moved on to The Grand Tetons, with it's lovely Jenny Lake and rugged mountain profile. We took a dinner wagon ride out to the lake where we were treated to this spectacular sunset skyline over Mount Moran. 

As we left the wilderness of Wyoming we looked forward to reconnecting our phones and internet service, but it was a truly lovely period of relative isolation and tranquility with the bison, elk, geysers and the raw beauty of the Wyoming landscape. 


If you haven't been there, put it on your "Bucket List."
